Edited by the late Robert U. Ayres, formerly Novartis Professor (Emeritus) of Management and the Environment, INSEAD, France and Institute Scholar, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Austria and the late Leslie W. Ayres, formerly Research Associate, Centre for Management of Environmental Resources at the European Business School, INSEAD, France

'This book is, without a doubt, a seminal work on industrial ecology and has drawn together some of the best thinkers on the topic to share their views and experiences.'
